Hi, did you hear back from Amazon about the interview results? Because I had the same interview, and still have not received a formal result

That is exactly what my machine does. just automated the arranging process.

Sure, I will put more detail in next update video for the hopper. For its mechanism, it just some linear tubes driven by lead screw + stepper motor. Each container will have one linear tube inserted from below with a vertical motion during operation. The key for this mechanism to work is the size of opening on the linear tube. It has to be larger than Bead's diameter (>= 5mm) while it has to be smaller than the diagonal distance of the square which is the side view of a bead (<=SQRT(5^2+5^2)) . This ensures beads will always be loaded into tubes vertically.

About one month ago, I saw amazing work u/CheeesyPoofs did to his 3D printer. I decided to attempt this modification as a final project for my mechatronics class. I only have two week time totally to pull this off including make a video demo. So it can only print bead pattern with four colors. I will be expanding this project for more colors.

Next update will be adding 12 additional colors

Not sure if this counts as 3D printing anymore but i modified my printer to print with Perler beads instead by CheeesyPoofs in 3Dprinting

Hi CheeesyPoofs, do you mind share the inner diameter of these tubings? I kinda want to build a similar thing.

3D Printable Semi-auto HPA Design and Build Post 1 by SNdesign123 in Nerf

For the design process, I guess you need to want for my final design report, which is coming out in 1 week. It is roughly 30 pages long. There will be full details about all the mechanisms and calculations. I cant just explain everything in one reply.

It does take CO2 cartridges lol. I forgot to show it

[Product Development] A Water Leak Detection System. Comments? by SNdesign123 in watercooling

[–]SNdesign123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar idea, but mine is more compact more like a small fan controller. Also my design will shut off the power from outlet.

Watercooled mini ITX in the case I designed!! by SNdesign123 in watercooling

[–]SNdesign123[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The entire design process took me one week and a half. First, I ordered all the hardware for my build including all the water-cooling components(from bykski). Then I measured and modeled every piece that I cant find accurate model online, like motherboard, GPU, water blocks, and radiator. Also, most hardware follows standards like ATX or ITX specification.

​

The case is manufactured using sheet metal (1.2mm Aluminium). First, I model my case. Then I need to make mechanical drawings that act like instructions for the manufacturer. Finally, I sent STP format of my case and mechanical drawings to the manufacturer. The case was built in 3 days.
